After the Ceasefire

After the ceasefire that they swore would last



She had the bright idea "to hell with the past!"



Thats where love lay bleeding licking at its wounds



The times were never changing sticking to their guns



She thought she really meant it, thats the honest truth



She felt it in her marrow, she felt it in her boots



After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.







The man she married, he was something else



He adored the chaos, smashing all the delft



The man she married, he was something else



He had the sudden notion its time to call a truth



Its time to lead a quiet life for the love of jeeze



Lets sit down together and engage in talks of peace



After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.







He was irish catholic, she had english blood



They met in a good restaurant, they gave the secret knot



She ordered fish and lentils, he the kidney stew



She played with bold impulses, wine turned his lips blue



They left in separate taxis to the same address



In case someone was watching, and there they did confess



After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.







It was all the others fault, they thought at any rate



After the ceasefire to put an end to hate



She was reaching for her knife, he a fork and spoon,



They sat about devouring the poison of the moon



Shared a fatal cigarette neither one would light



Their breath was flame enough, nobody said goodnight



After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.







After the ceasefire that they swore would last



They had the strange idea of living in the past



Thats where love lies bleeding licking at its wounds



The times are never changing sticking to their guns



They sit about devouring the poison of the moon



The times were never singing the same tune



After the ceasefire



After the ceasefire



After the ceasefire



After the ceasefire
